“I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix gt and am getting ready to take it to the dealer for the 3rd time since owning it (I purchased it as new vehicle). It seems the heater motor/heater resistor goes bad about every 2 years. I have read many other complaints on this problem on the internet”
NHTSA complaint #10261388, filed 2009-03, 66,000 miles“I have had to replace two of the motors for my windows (one of them in a rear window which is never even used!). I work with 5 other people that have had at least two-four motors go out on their pontiacs also. This appears to be a recurring problem with Pontiac and has caused me to reconsider buying a new Grand Prix.”

The first incident involved the driver's window and the second involved the driver's side rear window. The total cost of the first repair was $457. The second repair is estimated to be at least $400.
